????????????????????
what are some things that will cause septic shock?
gram +
gram - bacilli

**pt has fever
in septic shock we have bacterial constituents doing what?
1. Activate Compliment: C3a C5a C3b

2. Activate inflammatory mediators on leukocytes (TNF IL1 HMGB1)

2. Coagulation Factor XII activation: leads to thrombus that blocks even more O2
what are the inflammatory mediators that are activated in septic shock
IL1
TNF a
HMGB1

**also compliment C3a, C5a, and C3b

**leads to dilation --> pooling of blood --> hypoperfusion
what is the sequelae to septic shock
vasodilation
increase cap permiability
thrombosis

**all of these things cause even LESS O2 to reach tissues
so we know inflammation occurs initially in septic shock, is this maintained
nope, we eventially get IL10 and lymphocyte apoptosis that shifts to a more ANTI inflammatory
does septic shock lead to acidosis or alkalosis
acidosis, low O2 so anerobic glycolysis and LACTIC ACID production

**lactic acidosis
when do we see anti-inflammatory in septic shock
once we are in full blown shock its through weve switched to ANTI inflamm via IL10 and leukocyte apoptosis

**we have mechs to maintain CO nad BP
-kidneys maintain H20
-SNS causes constriction via NE a1 Receptors

--> tachycardia and increased peripheral resistance
what is the progressive phase of shock
2nd stage

*tissue hypoxia so we get lactic acidosis, the acidemia blunts the vasomotor response and instead of constriction we get dilation of BV. This leads to blood pooling and decreased CO. Kidneys begin to fail and we get endthelial damage to BV.
at what pt is shock irreversible?
irreversible stage, stage 3 (non progressive, progressive, irreversible)

what is an imporforate anus
failure of anal membrane to apoptose
is there an inflammatory response in apoptosis? necrosis?
apoptosis: not really, PHAGOCYTOSED BY NEIGHBORING CELL

necrosis: YOU BET!!!
is the stimulus what determines if a cell will apoptose or necrose?
nope, same stimuli for both processes
what are some characteristics of Apoptosis

how can you distuinguish apoptosis and necrosis on electrophoresis
Apoptosis: DNA FRAGMENTS seperate out and make a ladder

Necrosis: makes a smudge
what is the intrinsic (mito) path of apoptosis?
when do cells apoptose?
1. in a SINGLE cell caspase cleaves cytoskeleton (shrink) and activate DNAse (fragmented DNA ladder). the cells is then cleaned up my neighboring cells

seen in embryogenesis, atrophy of menopause, hormone induction (menstruation)

result of: injury, release of cyto C into cytosol
in what type of cell death are caspases activated to cleave the cytoskeleton and DNAase break up DNA
intrinsic (mito) path of apoptosis
how are cells undergoing apoptosis removed/
phago be neighbors or macro

3. cell is cleared quickly
waht is the stimulus for intrinsic path apoptosis
injury, cytochrome C in cytosol, normal processes like embryogenesis, atrophy of menopause and hormone induction of endometrium
what is te eextrinsic path of apoptosis
1. FasL:

2. CTL: perforin and granzyme
what is teh "death receptor initiated" pathway of cell death
the extrinsic apoptotic path
what can bind to a "death domain" and what type of cell death is initiated
TNF or FAS

**when ligand binds caspase 8 is activated and leads to apoptosis

extrinsic path of apoptosis
where is FAS L found
on T cells, so when it binds there is killing of mainly self reactive lymphocytes
what are some T cells apoptosed
respond to self AG
inappropriate affinity to AG
what are the genes involved in Apoptosis
Fas FASL
caspase 8
if the breast looses hormone what happens
apoptosis, breasts shrink
extrinsic pathway
TNF binds the R and leads to pathyway that activates caspase

FAS FASL same thing but for T cells
whats the thing about TNF
its part of apoptosis extrinsic pathway

its called tumor necrosis factor but its not invllved in necrosis. perhaps in septic shock it does play a role in necrosis but normally its apoptosis

Once bound TNF can have several paths: 1 leads to apoptosis, the other activates NFkB and BLOCKS apoptosis
what does NFkB do and what stim it
blocks apoptosis

**TNF can activate NFkB and block apoptosis but TNF can also initiate apoptosis
when we see cytochrome C we think what kind of cell death
apoptosis

intrinsic (mito) pathway
what is the stimuli for intrinsic apoptosis
1. remove hormones
2. DNA damage
3. Cytochrome C released from mito and chillin in cytosol (cyto C activates caspase 9)
we know that the intrinsic path is initiated with DNA damage, how does this haooen
p53 accumulates and stops cell cycle to let the cell heal itself, it if can fix the damage we get BAX and the cell dies via apoptosis

**cancer with mutated p53 are really hard to treat bc it cant initiate apoptosis
what is BAX
the signal the cell gets to do apoptosis

**intrinsic path: there is DNA damage so p53 pops up and tells the cell cycle to stop so it can repair the DNA, if the DNA cant be repaired we get BAX and BAX tess us to kill that cell via intrinsic apoptosis

**type of Bcl family
what is bcl 2? what happens wth overexpression
bcl: b cell lymphoma family with homologous domains. can be pro or anti apoptotic

Overexpression of bcl 2 means the cell cant die, its anti apoptotic

BAX nad Bak are PRO apoptotic

Bcl2 bclx and mcl 1 are ANTI apoptotic
how are BAX nad Bcl2 involved in apoptosis
intrinsic path

BCL2 wont let cyto c out: antoapoptotic. Cell LIVES

BAX: lets cyto C out, PRO apoptotic/ CELL DIES
how is CTL mediated apoptosis done
perforin (makes a hole in membrane) and granzyme

**kills cells with virus or cancer cells

we get disease bc of excess apoptosis

**also see excess apoptosis in:
-spinal mm injury
-neurodegenerative disease
-ischemic injury (MI, stroke)
so we can get disease bc of excess apoptosis (HIV, viral hepatitis, ischemia, neurodegenerative)
when do we get disease due to lack of apoptosis
autoimmune disease: dont kill autoreactive T

Tumor with anti apoptotic things like Bcl1, NFkB, or mutated p53

Viral Infections (Epstein Barr)
what would happen if a tumor expressed Bcl1 NFkB or mutated p53
it wowouldnt die!!! pathology due to deficient apoptosis

**Bcl1 and NFkB inhibit apoptosis
**when p53 is mutated it cant stop the cell cycle and fix DNA damage and initiate BAX to kill if needed so the cells all just live---CANCER

wht is prussian blue used for
to stain hemosiderin

fe accumulations
are small amts of hemosiderin or large localized accumulations normal
small amts in bone marrow, liver and spleen, are ok

large localized amts means bruising or hemmorage inthat ares

Small amts: hemosiderosis

LOTS: hemochromatosis
what is hemosiderosis, what is hemochromatosis
hemosiderosis: little Fe build up in parynchmeal cells. no damage

what are the 2 types of pathologic calcium deposition
1. Dystrophic: serum Ca levels are normal but damaged tissue gets Ca deposits

2. Metastatic: hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia causes normal tissue to get calcification
name that calcification...

1. high Ca levels cause non pathologic sk mm to get calcification

2. diseased heart mm is calcified even though normal Ca levels
1. metastatic: this is when high Ca or K levels in the blood lead to deposition of Ca in healthy tissue

2. dystrophic calcification: lay Ca in abnormal tissue even when serum Ca is normal
what are some things that can increase your likelyhood to have dystrophic calcification
dystrophic: normal Ca, tissue is nonviable

-necrossis: coagulative, liquefative, caseous, fat
-atherosclerosis

gross: fine white granules, hard

Micro: lots of purple granules, heteropic bone formation
what are some things that will cause hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. what can this then lead to?
increased Ca can be due to hyperparathyroidism (increased PTH), increased bone destruction,

Hyperphosphatemia can happen with renal failure

**the increase in Ca and K will lead to metastatic calcification (normal tissue will get Ca deposits)
where do we often see metastatic calcifications
kidney, lung, GI
is cellular aging a disease state?

where is telomerase?
in stem cells, germ cells, and cancer cells

**in all other cells we have telomers htat shorten adn eventually get so short they can no longer replicate
can a cell with no telomere divide?
nope, it needs telomerase, the only cells with telomerase are stem, germ, ad cancer
what does telomerase do
extend 3' end of DNA during replication to be sure the temomeres stay long and can divide lots and lots

**telomerase is only found in germ, stem, and cancer cells. all other cells will get such short telomeres they can no longer divide
What are 4 mechs of intracellular accumulations?
1. Abnormal metabolism as seen in fatty liver. 2. Protein mutation that inhibits folding or transport, seen in a1antitrypsin defect. 3. Deficient enzymes, seen in lysosomal storage disorder. 4. Inability to degrade foreign material that is phagocytized, as seen in hemosiderosis and coal inhalation.
Fatty liver is an example of what mech of accumulation?
Normal substance that is made at an increased rate or there is just inadequate metabolism for removal, fat accumulates in cytosol
What can happen if protein is mutated such that it cant be folded?
It wont be able to be transported and it will accumulate in the ER
What happens if we lack an enzyme required for metabolism?
Accumulation of intermediates. Seen in lysosomal storage disease
What happens when cells take up exogenous substances that really aren’t supposed to be there?
They accumulate bc the cell doesn’t have the necessary things to remove it
Case: old man who lived in Phx was killed by a car, non smoker with subpleural reticular pattern of net like pigmentation. What is the pigment? How did the pigment get there? Where else might you see this pigment? What are risk factors for increased amts of this pigment?
Its anthrasosis. Inhaled carbon that is taken up by macrophages and reached the lungs via subpleural and mediasteinal lymphatics. You may also see the anthracosis in lymph nodes. Increased risk for getting coal in lungs for ppl in pollution, smokers, coal miners, and ppl who cook over open flame
What is steatosis? Where does it happen? Is it reversible?
Fatty change due in accumulation of Triglycerides. Common in liver and heart, can also be seen in mm and kidney. Reversible, caused by obesity, DM, EtOH, carbon tet, shock/anoxia, protein malnutrition, rapid weight loss
What can these things cause: Obesith, EtOH, DM, CCl4, protein malnutrition, rapid weight loss, shock/anoxia?
Hepatic steatosis, fatty liver due to accumulations of triglycerides. We can also have steatosis of the heart, mm, and kidney
What is the pathogenesis of steatosis?
Accumulation of triglycerides can be due to: 1. Increased Fat/mobilization- obesity, DM, starvation 2. Decreased TG acceptors-malnutrition, CCL4 3. Decreased mito oxidation- anoxia (heart failure/shock) 4. Mito defects- EtOH
Why does starvation lead to steatasis?
We begin to mobilize fat stores and the liver cant handle it. This is also seen in obesity and DM
Why can malnutrition and carbon tet lead to steatosis?
Decreased synthesis of fat acceptors so the fat accumulates
Why can the anoxia seen in heart failure lead to steatosis?
Decreased oxidation in mito so fat can accumulate
Why does excess EtOH lead to fatty liver?
EtOh damages the mito, damaged mito cant oxidize fat like its supposed to
How can we tell if someone has fatty liver?
AST nad ALT are elevated. Steatosis can be reversed but it can also progress into cirrhosis
If someone has elevated AST ALT and a hx of obesity and EtOH abuse what may their autopsy reveal? What about a CT? what about microscopic?
Fatty liver: enlarged, greasy and yellow. On CT the liver will look homogenous and less dense. Micro: lots of white lipid drops.
What are the causes of hepatic steatosis?
Obesity, DM, EtOH, CCl4, protein malnutrition, rapid weight loss, shock/anoxia
Describe the morphology of hepatic steatosis
Large yellow greasy liver. Homogenous and decreased density on imaging. Micro there are lots of fat drops
What are the clinical consequences of hepatic steatosis?
Elevated ALT AST, can be reversible or can impair cell fx and lead to cirrhosis/steatohepatitis
Wht happens to cardiomyocytes when damaged via hypoxia?
Cell swells and accumulates fat. Without O2 you cant properly metabolize fat and so it accumulates
When we get lipid accumulation in cardiac mm what are the 2 ways it can look and what causes each?
. Tiger- yellow bands that alternate with unaffected tissue. Caused by prolonged moderate hypoxia, think anemia
2. Uniformly affected: all mm is affected. Caused by profound hypoxia as seen in shock, maybe also toxic injury like diphtheria
What is a foam cell?
Macrophage with lots of cholesterol accumulations. Can be found in BV wall and its called atheroschlerosis or in the skin/tendons and are called xanthomas. Seen in neiman pick disease
What are the 2 locations a foam cell can be found?
Atherosclerosis: found in BV wall, can also have free cholesterol present. Xanthomas: foam cell tumors found subdermal, neimann pick C,
